Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

South Harringay School and the Passage from Pemberton Road, c 1910

I love the finials on the Passage entrance. They're still in situ. I'd never noticed then before.

Two memories. Family friends the Doubtfires (yes, really) lived at 96 Pemberton in the 50s/60s so I knew this spot well. And we North Harringay lot used to troop down through the alley to the swimming pool at Mattison Road, where ome day an impish 10 year old in our class ran through the boys changing room showing more than her parents would have approved of. We did laugh!

By the way, I think the finials may be because there was more of the school on the opposite side of the alley so it was kind of 'incorporated'.

Did you get her address Richard ?   Don't tell me it was the start of a beautiful friendship and you ended up marrying her...................???

Problem was that everyone knew her name... and more it seemed!
